The crust was a bit crumbly, but the filling was delicious. I think I'll try using a different crust recipe next time.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used Granny Smith apples. Next time, I'll try using a sweeter apple variety.

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my pie turned out way too sweet. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This jicama pie is an absolute delight! The crust is flaky and flavorful, and the filling is a perfect balance of sweet and tart. I added a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling, which gave it an extra layer of flavor.
